I wanted to make special mention of a special man, my brother David. After battling renal cancer since last spring, he left this earth.
The things he rarely did: get mad. I think I saw him angry twice in my life.
The things he often did: played congas, whistled-seriously, he whistled all the time, and played with his granddaughter.
When I think of his mark, it would have to be encouragement, kindness and laughter. Many have those qualities, but this was who he was day in and day out. When life kicked your ass, you always could find David show you some love.
Recently, I was told my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She's a cool lady but the symptoms are increasing. I just want her to be happy in her final years. My mom's stories get more skewed and blurry as time passes. Part of the reason I'm igniting photography and how it has a newfound importance is the importance of memory. I hope to use photography in my career to capture what is happening and also show the significance of it's fading.
I'll be exploring cancer and Alzheimer's organizations that I think would be worthy of donating and volunteering to, and posting here. As the holiday's inspire giving, I hope you will consider giving to a charity or organization that is close to your heart.
